The magical colorful crystal, the upcoming expansion pack. (5200)

Chapter 574: The Magical seven-colored crystal, The Upcoming Expansion Pack. (5200)

"Midwife?"

Cao Xing was somewhat stunned.

The crystal person said excitedly, "Yes, yes!"

"The small crystal on Little Amber Stone is about to split successfully. Our crystal people are going to have a new member!"

Cao Xing then remembered that this group of crystal people had a special way of reproducing.

They would grow a crystal from their own body, and through continuous growth, it would eventually fall off and become a small crystal person.

At the same time, Cao Xing heard a sound of crystal shattering from inside, accompanied by Little Amber Stone's crisp voice.

"Ah! It's born!"

Hearing this, the other crystal people's gem-like pupils shone with intense light, and they all rushed into the room.

Including Cao Xing, who also looked inside the stone house with curiosity.

At this moment, Three-Leaf Stone was helping Little Amber Stone up from the stone bed.

Beside them, a group of crystal people surrounded a newly born little crystal person, looking her up and down.

This little crystal person was only twenty to thirty centimeters tall, similar to a human baby.

However, as soon as they were born, they had the ability to walk and talk independently, far stronger than ordinary infants.

At this moment, she was communicating with her tribe members..

"Interesting—"

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

At the same time, Three-Leaf Stone, whose body emitted a crystal luster, helped Little Amber Stone slowly part the crowd and came to Cao Xing's side.

"Lord, good day."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and looked at the little crystal person behind her, asking, "Is that Little Amber Stone's child?"

Little Amber Stone's eyes showed confusion, as if she didn't quite understand.

Three-Leaf Stone explained softly, "Lord, in our crystal people, there is no concept of parents. These little crystal people are all our sisters."

Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization.

Little Amber Stone beside her said, "Lord, this is the first crystal person born after we came to the territory. She doesn't have a name yet. Would you give her one?"

Hearing this, the other crystal people's eyes also lit up, and they gathered around, chattering for Cao Xing to name her. After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Let's call her Flint."

This was just a name he casually came up with, but the crystal people seemed very satisfied, and they all called out the little crystal person's name.

They were all immersed in the joy of the new member.

Only the sensible Three-Leaf Stone came to Cao Xing's side and asked softly, "Lord, is there something you want us crystal people to do?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "Recently, how many gems have you produced?"

Hearing this question, Three-Leaf Stone seemed prepared.

She reached to her waist, where a small bag hung, and handed the bag to him.

"Lord, they are all here."

Cao Xing took it.

[Obtained: Dark Crystal*54]

[Obtained: Flash Crystal*6]

[Obtained: seven-colored crystal (Orange)*1]

"Oh? This time there's actually a seven-colored crystal?" Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

Three-Leaf Stone nodded lightly, "Yes, this seven-colored crystal was produced by Little Flint."

He took out this seven-colored crystal separately and examined it in his hand.

As its name suggests, this prismatic crystal emitted a seven-colored glow even without a light source, looking extremely beautiful.

He glanced at its attributes.

[seven-colored crystal (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Attribute: Inlaid in a weapon or equipment, it can increase 30 points of charm and enhance the equipment's base attributes by 30%, and has a 50% chance to randomly strengthen one equipment special effect.]

(Note: After inlaying the seven-colored crystal, the equipment's level will be increased by 30.)

(Note 2: Each piece of equipment can have at most 1 crystal inlaid.)

"Good heavens, worthy of being the rarest seven-colored crystal, these attributes are much stronger than the flash crystal!"

Obviously, this crystal was priceless. The first 30% attribute boost needed no explanation, but the most special was the latter ability.

"Strengthen one equipment special effect?"

"So, Legendary special effects can also be strengthened?"

The Legendary equipment in his territory each had very powerful Legendary special effects, such as Assam's lady of the lake sword, which permanently increases attack power by killing enemies.

For example, Braum's Shield of Origin, which can transform into a giant, etc.

If these special effects could be strengthened again, they would see tremendous improvement.

The more Cao Xing looked at these crystal people, the more he liked them.

These were truly a group of creatures that laid golden eggs!

"Well done, Three-Leaf Stone."

"Our territory recently discovered a new crystal ore, Shadow Purple Crystal. We'll give you a change of taste later."

Hearing this, Three-Leaf Stone's face also showed a smile.

"Yes, Lord."

After leaving the crystal people's living area, Cao Xing did not immediately take these crystals to Harold for forging.

After all, inlaying this thing would increase the usage level by 30. Before reaching level 100, it was better to wait.

Next, he went to the library, planning to read a few books.

In the corner, a beautiful figure still sat, it was Gwyneth.

Since losing her voice, she seemed to have only books as companions every day, and she didn't even notice Cao Xing's arrival.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "According to the Old King, the Legendary Saint Light Sage in the Holy See possesses extremely powerful healing abilities and can restore her voice."

"Otherwise, go to the Orchid Kingdom and find that Rosie from Sichuan Sea Castle."

"The Orchid Kingdom is not accessible recently, so the faster method is to let Isabelle break through to Legendary!"

Isabelle had currently broken through to Hero-level. If she could return before the monster siege, perhaps she could be raised to level 100 in one go and then break through to Legendary!

By then, Cao Xing himself could have a Saint Light Sage, and there would be no need to seek the Holy See or find someone in the Orchid Kingdom.

At eleven o'clock at night, Cao Xing left the library and returned to the Lords Castle.

After taking a hot bath, he comfortably held the beauty in his arms and fell asleep.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the system prompt appeared on time.

[Survivors, please note! You have reached day 45 of the development period. Tonight, the final round of monster siege will begin!]

[After tonight, the enhanced Ice Nest event will end, and no more Ice Nests will be deployed.]

[The Gold Point Shop will close in 24 hours. Please exchange your points in time to avoid unnecessary losses.]

[The new expansion pack will open in seven days. Please prepare.]

[Weather Forecast: Today, the Gale Snowfield area will be sunny, with a minimum temperature of -54°C to -63°C. Suitable for going out and developing the territory.]

When the series of system prompts ended, the chat channel once again buzzed with eager discussion!

"The one-and-a-half-month development period is over just like that, and I haven't even upgraded all my walls to advanced!"

"Yeah, too fast. I finally got a few Expert-level Hearts of Strength, and before I could break through, it's ending!"

"Everyone, the Gold Point Shop is closing, don't forget to exchange your points."

Besides the regional channel, the world channel was also flooded with all kinds of information.

"Brothers, the system clearly stated this time that the new expansion pack will open in seven days. Does anyone know what the content of this expansion pack is?"

"Who knows! Up to now, the system hasn't revealed any clues about the new expansion pack. I saw people on the forum saying it's an Undead Calamity. Is that true?"

"Probably true. I saw people on the forum saying that near their territory there was an Undead City, and recently all the undead inside disappeared overnight! And not just one, but the undead in many cities disappeared!"

"Damn! There's such a thing? Then it's highly likely to be an Undead Calamity!"

"Yeah, luckily I stockpiled some things to deal with undead, hope they come in handy."

For a time, the prices of undead-related items on the trading market soared again.

Obviously, these Survivors had guessed wrong.

Those disappeared undead were all converted into Ascalon undead by Duke Baradin.

During this period, Cao Xing provided him with several locations, all within three thousand kilometers of the Gale Snowfield.

Each location had a large number of undead, no less than fifty thousand.

Under the dual suppression of Duke Baradin and the Black Knight Tiernis, a Dominator-level creature, the undead inside had no ability to resist and had all submitted.

Currently, the number of undead they controlled had exceeded four hundred thousand.

With so many undead, Duke Baradin's power of authority soared, and his level had also recovered to level 70.

He felt that if he were given another hundred thousand undead army, he might even be able to raise his strength to Hero-level.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also saw this system prompt.

[part:gemini-3.5-flash-lite]

"Seven days? In other words, the Blood Legion is about to emerge—"

His expression instantly turned a bit solemn.

Liu Muxue, the person sleeping beside him, also had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

After a moment, she suddenly asked, "Ah-Xing, you said this time the system has clearly specified the time for the new expansion data."

"At this time, have the Watchers already reached the critical moment of summoning the Blood Legion?"

Cao Xing glanced at her and understood Liu Muxue's meaning.

She wanted to say whether they could interfere with the Watchers or delay the descent of the Blood Legion taking advantage of this time.

"It should be, but we can't do anything."

"After all, we don't even know where the Watchers are located."

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's mind.

Perhaps… he should know.

However, Cao Xing was not sure what the other party's attitude was, and he couldn't contact him either.

Sighing, "It seems that the descent of the Blood Legion is a foregone conclusion."

"However—it is still necessary to tell the Old King about this intelligence so that he can make some preparations in advance."

Pausing for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Let's go Muxue, today is the last day, let's go continue arranging tasks for the warriors."

"Okay." The beauty nodded gently.

Soon, the two quickly washed up and then came together outside the territory.

At the same time.

Outside the Lords Castle, all the combat personnel of the entire territory had already gathered.

The warriors also knew that today was the last day of the development period, so they held their heads high, focused intently on their lord, and made preparations for battle.

Cao Xing glanced around and once again tallied all the combat power in his territory.

Now, the combat personnel of the entire territory, except for those Hero-level units, had basically reached the maximum level of the current stage.

Even the newly summoned Bifer Blackheart, after two consecutive days of crazy sprinting, saw his level skyrocket directly from level 40 to level 64!

Coupled with the fact that there would be a monster siege event tonight, pushing Bifer Blackheart directly to level 70 was also a done deal.

In addition, Liu Muxue's level was upgraded to level 94, and Sarah's level was upgraded to level 91.

And the newly joined Lana, after these two days of combat, had her level restored to level 86.

Including Cao Xing's own level, it also rushed to level 82 in one go!

It can be said that everyone's strength has surged by a large margin!

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, and he sighed inwardly, "Very good, there is still a daytime for me to develop now, and it won't be a problem to rush another one or two levels according to the current speed."

"Then taking advantage of the monster siege tonight, maybe there is a chance to let everyone rush to level 100!"

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered, "All personnel, attention!"

Thousands of combat personnel straightened their bodies!

"Today, everyone continues to go out and search for the Ice Nest to fight!"

"Seven days later, we will face a severe challenge, and before that, everyone needs to possess even stronger power!"

Hearing this, all the warriors on the field responded solemnly one after another!

"Yes, my Lord!"

Thousands of people dispersed densely and then started a day of combat.

Just when Cao Xing was also preparing to go out to fight.

Suddenly saw a dazzling holy light appear in the teleportation array area.

An ethereal voice came from his ears.

"Respected Lord, I have returned to the territory."

At that instant, Cao Xing's eyes lit up!

"I know, I'll be right over."

He walked over immediately.

Then, at a glance, he saw a woman walking over holding a staff, glowing all over like a sacred preacher.

It was Isabelle.

Now, she was the territory member Cao Xing was most looking forward to returning quickly!

Coming to Cao Xing's side, this Saint Light Priest slightly bowed and then saluted.

"Respected Lord, I have lived up to the commission and successfully inherited the power of that light-attribute Legendary mage."

Cao Xing sensed for a moment and found that the aura on Isabelle's body had indeed surged by a large margin!

Furthermore, her potential was also promoted to the Dominion level.

A look of admiration suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Very good! Isabelle, you are indeed the most suitable person for that inheritance."

And this Saint Light Priest still maintained a humble attitude, "It is the Lord who bestowed upon me such a precious opportunity, and I will keep it firmly in my heart."

A faint smile carried on her beautiful face.

Even Cao Xing's mood became even better.

Pausing, this Saint Light Priest continued to report: "Lord, in that inheritance, I have obtained tremendous improvement."

"Not only did I successfully break through to the Tier-8 Hero-level, but my potential was also raised to the limit, successfully becoming a Dominion-level creature."

"In addition, I have newly learned a forbidden spell and a Legendary-level magic."

Hearing this, the joy on Cao Xing's face became even stronger.

He quickly glanced at Isabelle's attributes.

[Saint Light Priest: Isabelle Gospel]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Level 85 (Tier-8 Dominion-level creature)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

After reading Isabelle's attributes, Cao Xing was even more infinitely satisfied!

Obviously, this time in that light-attribute mage's inheritance, her gains were immense!

Not only her potential and tier were all upgraded, but she also acquired several powerful skills.

Especially her forbidden spell—Blazing Torrent, the damage coefficient was even more terrifying.

Even the killing range was just below Cao Xing's Doomsday Ice Star!

In addition, after becoming a Dominion-level creature, the newly activated domain also increased her output capability once again.

"Just right, tonight is the time for the monster siege."

"With this forbidden spell, it means she also has a large-scale monster-clearing method, maybe she can really rush her level to level 100!"

"Then, we can try to let Isabelle break through to Legendary!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing instantly became excited!

At this time, Isabelle seemed to have thought of something, and respectfully said, "By the way, Lord."

"The master of that inheritance told me that he was once seriously injured in the battle against the Blood Legion, and then after feeling that his days were numbered, he left behind this inheritance."

Cao Xing's eyes instantly narrowed, "The Blood Legion?"

"Did he say anything else?"

Isabelle nodded slightly and continued, "In addition, he also said that at the end of his life, he had always been finding ways to crack the curse of the Blood Legion, and even used his own body to conduct research."

"Finally, before his death, he developed a secret medicine formula targeting the Blood Legion, which can be used to counter several curses of the Blood Legion."

"Huh? A formula to counter several curses?"

An expression of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, "Show it to me."

"Yes."

Isabelle extended her slender hand to take out a formula, and then handed it over to him.

[Acquired: Blood Suppression Formula (Orange)]

He quickly glanced at the attributes.

[Blood Suppression Formula (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Blueprint Introduction: Through this blueprint, secret medicine that is immune to the power of blood can be crafted]

[Secret Medicine Effect: After taking it, within the next 1 hour, keep one's own blood in a calm state, capable of immunizing against 'Life Wither Curse', 'Blood Solidification Curse', etc.—]

[Crafting Requirements: Master-level Alchemy Proficiency, Glass Bottle * 1, Blood Coagulation Herb * 10, Blue Blood Lotus * 1 Piece, Frigid Water * 200ml]

(Introduction: Legendary mage Vittorio Guangxu, after being defeated by a Myriarch of the Blood Legion, he suffered from the erosion of the blood curse all day long, feeling unreconciled.)

(At the final moment of his life, he began to do experiments with his own body with all his might, and finally developed this formula.)

On Cao Xing's face, extreme shock had already appeared.

"It is indeed a formula capable of immunizing against curses, and the duration is as long as one hour!"

Obviously, this blueprint is quite important.

Especially at this juncture, it even surpassed a Legendary piece of equipment!

The curse of the Blood Legion, although he had not experienced it yet, he knew without thinking that it must be quite terrifying!

After all, this was a terrifying curse that caused a light-attribute Legendary mage to fall.

Although Cao Xing had a curse nemesis like the Light Feather Chicken, which could even dispel Legendary-level curses.

But its [Purification Light] was single-target, and had a cooldown time.

If it were on a large-scale battlefield, relying solely on this chicken, it definitely wouldn't be able to look after everyone.

But now with this potion, coupled with the [Eternal Power] amplification, Cao Xing's side was equivalent to everyone being immune to the curses of the Blood Legion.

If more could be mass-produced, he could even support a portion to the Old King's side, increasing his survival rate in the battle against the Blood Legion.
